Untitled



I don’t know what to call these things yet. But here they are, output from the not-language-based part of my brain.

Prints!





I made an abundance of prints this week: experiments, things for the sale at Tiny Town next month, some things that I’m not sure what to do with yet (particularly that long woodcut up top). 

I’ve never combined intaglio and linocut before, and it worked beautifully. The next set will be printed in reverse order, intaglio over linocut, to see how that behaves differently.

I also made several monoprints, which is rare for me (why make only one??), and it was fun to work in a more fluid and responsive way. Whoop whoop!

Ceramics





I’ve been making ceramic things to hold paper things, and probably rocks. (Pretend that lower dish doesn’t have a paper towel in it that says YES! on it and instead pretend that it is full of gravel.)

I’m preparing for a show in January, whoop whoop.

I bow / tiny landscapes



I finished a book today that’s been in the works since the beginning of the summer (back in Portland, which feels like a million years ago and not a few months ago); now I’m just waiting for it to be printed and shipped.

I think of this book as three books in one book, and I’m really tickled by the fact that I’m making a shift towards complexity. I’m less interested in making singular works and more interested in making aggregates, developing meaning through context and positioning: books within another book, images and words couched together within a larger clump, a super book!

New little prints



New little prints, part of a series. 10pt Helvetica on joss paper, printed on a sign press.

Big thanks to my partner Jeik for assembling an amazing studio and sharing it with me and supporting the ideas that come out of my strange brain. !!!!!

Tiny Landscapes

I haven’t painted anything blue in a while, so I did: Tiny Landscapes.

The Moon, a tortilla



Last week I made a linocut of the Moon. This week I started a woodcut of a tortilla. Because they look alike!

A BOOK ABOUT CRYING

This book is all done.

Typesetting, printing



I’m making a new book, a book about crying. Letterpress on kitakata, 14pt Spartan Bold and 12pt Baskerville. I printed a couple on vellum, a couple on pink vellum, and a couple on neon orange. Experiments!

Also, I live in AZ again!

A new page in a new book

I’ve been a busy bee the past week, applying for jobs (finally) and making a new book on the letterpress. Here’s a gross little paragraph for you, xxoo.
